MBSM
Wraparound Jacket Repair Sleeve
Raychem Heat Shrink Products offer
a superior alternative to hand-taped
layers or force-fit rubber parts. It’s an
option that lets the installer duplicate
the cable system’s performance. During
installation, the heat shrink technology
rebuilds the cable jacket with crosslinked
materials specifically formulated to
match cable performance.
• The MBSM wraparound product line
offers a fast, versatile and permanent repair for damaged cable jackets.
•
BSM repair sleeves protect cables
M
in mechanically abusive environments; rejacket premolded splices; repair
and rejacket LC-shielded and moisture
impervious cables; and provide strain
relief.
•A
vailable in five diameters with 5:1
shrink ratios.
• For use on standard poly- or
elastomeric-insulated/jacketed
cables, which may include aluminum
or steel armoring and PILC.
•M
BSM provides a moisture-vapor
transmission (MVT) barrier for repairing
and rejacketing LC-shield and moisture impervious cables. These sleeves do not provide electrical insulation.
•T
he heat-activated sealant system is
designed to provide positive protection
from external moisture.
•
Since MBSM is heat-shrinkable, several cable sizes and types can be repaired
by any one size of MBSM wraparound. This one-step installation method ensures a tight, moisture-proof seal which is reliable and repeatable.
High abrasion resistance, flexibility
and sealant are combined in a tough
modified polyolefin material from which
MBSM wraparounds are made. It can be
quickly positioned in place by means
of its rail and channel closure. Heating
above 125°C causes the repair sleeve to
shrink in diameter to fit the cable. At the
same time, the adhesive liner melts and
seals against fluids and dirt, thus completing the job.
